Every Community Deserves Food that Heals

Our Prescription Food Program Trials will Help Your Community Treat and Prevent Chronic Diseases

A new enterprise involving Think Regeneration, Down at the Farms LLC,  Erin Martin, and hundreds of farmers and health care professionals across Illinois are working together to launch prescription food programs across the United States. We expect to positively impact communities by increasing their access to locally grown food, while providing them with nutrition and cooking education. We are currently raising money for food purchasing, health testing, soil testing, farmer education, and nutrition/cooking courses for program participants.

Goal: $250,000 per pilot per year

Fundraising goes toward food purchasing, farmer education, health care testing, soil testing, cooking/nutrition classes, and food distribution.

Farmer-driven Food Programs for Better Health

The team members at Down at the Farms Rx are available for a free consultation to help you raise the money needed to create a pilot program that proves how experts in soil health, local food distribution, health care, and nutrition/cooking education can work together to create healthier communities. Please download or read about our program in the PDF below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at ryan@thinkregeneration.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Our unique prescription food programs and food-is-medicine programs (sometimes called "Food As Medicine") focus on sourcing high-quality ingredients, providing expert education on nutrition and cooking, and testing consistently to measure success. Early pilots following these fundamentals are showing dramatic improvements to those suffering from diabetes, obesity and hypertension.


Our programs differ than most because we spend time and effort focusing on helping the family farmer grow nutritious food by building the crop's soil biology. This in turn creates a product that has a higher capacity for carrying nutrients into our bodies. In other words, the quality of our food is directly related to our body's ability to fight off disease. Today, too much of our food is grown in sterile soils, is overprocessed, and therefore nutrient deficient, which is leading to higher rates of chronic diseases, and therefore higher health care costs for all.


Researchers and scientists around the country are working to show how food grown in healthier soils is directly related to our body's ability to maintain healthy gut microbiomes. Dr. James White at Rutgers University advises us to say, "All indications are this is true," as the research continues.


Family farmers need opportunities to sell beyond community Farmer's Markets, which are often labor intensive. These programs help farmers get paid premium retail prices for their work to build soil health and a more nutritious product.


We will offer hundreds of different varieties of vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, meat, and grains, all grown with organic, regenerative, or regenerative-organic practices. Each delivery allows the participant to experience new products, while also falling back on trusted ingredients they are learning to cook with.


Accountability must be built in across the supply chain. As we require growers to be diligent not to use pesticides or herbicides, we also expect participants to understand how they cook the food matters the most. By providing them lessons on how to prepare the food in a healthy way, we will ensure they receive the maximum benefits from the programs. 


Yes! Our programs are meant to advise local leaders like you on how to manage and own their own prescription food programs. We work with entrepreneurs, economic development committees, hospital trustees, university researchers, insurance companies, health care clinics, private medical practitioners, specialists and human relations professionals to install these programs in diverse communities around the United States. Contact us today at info@thinkregeneration.com to learn how we can support your work.


By offsetting the costs for all participants in the pilot programs, we will ensure active participation and data validation. The $250,000 will support all costs for at least 50 participants in the trial, including all testing, food purchasing, and distribution costs.
